N-gated Hacker News🚀 Wow, a whole article to tell us that #Go has an assembler and a #garbage collector! 🎩 Apparently, combining them is as thrilling as watching paint dry, but fear not—our hero is here to walk us through the riveting dance of #pointers and write barriers. 📚✨ Who knew #assembly could be this exciting? Oh wait, nobody. 😴

How to store Go pointers from assembly
The standard Go toolchain comes with an assembler out of the box. Said assembler is highly idiosyncratic, using syntax inherited from Plan 9 and choosing its own names for platform-specific instructions and registers. But it's great to have it readily available. More mundanely, Go comes with a garbage collector. This post explains how to make these two components play nice, if we want to manipulate Go pointers from our assembly.

Ah, the joys of #generics in #C. I really love C, but of course it does have some "defects", one of them being the need to use #void #pointers for everything generic, which then leads to such silly bugs no compiler can ever catch ....

I never abbreviate functions; I want to read them all so that when I read back the programming code in a month a year or 10 years it still makes sense to me without reading my remarks

I would claim that I'm *very* experienced with #programming in #C. But still, C gets annoyingly weird when it comes to #pointers *to* #arrays.
Does the following code look sober to you? 🤔 (My compiler doesn't complain)
Especially interested in the highlighted line, but also the block above trying to expand the array ...
Context: I started work on a generic/configurable rate-limiter to add to #swad.
Rafael PerezCode-Maze author Konstantinos Polychronopoulos writes a good overview of memory pointers in C#, including the caveats, and their limited but still important use cases (mostly having to do with optimizing large array data manipulation and access, and interacting with unmanaged code e.g., C, C++, and others.)

🎩🧐 Behold, the riveting #sequel to 'Memory Management'—as if the first wasn't thrilling enough! Brace yourself as our intrepid author attempts to make #C++ sound like it's not just C with a monocle. 🥱🔧 Spoiler: It's still about #pointers, and no one's impressed.
